A few wears ago a little book fell into
our hands, recounting the experience OF
certain prominent business man, from
which 1t appeared that, as with most
Americans, too close attention to business
had broken his heath. The doctor sad he
could not live. He then stated that he used
a certain article which effsctualy cured
him, aud tout of gratitude for has own re-
covery he determined to devote portion

American Harvesting Machinery In Aus.
tralia


Australian papers just received announce
the award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTMAN, MILLER & Co., of Akron, O., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding B .nder,
as the result Of the National field trial held
in December last. The following, cut from
the Melbourne Argus of December 10, 1885,
giving part culars Of the contest, will be OF
interest. The Argus says:
The field trial OF reaTers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 14th
inst on Mr. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from Shepparton. Owing to the
pressure Of harvest work, crops IN all di-
rectiOns being ripe, the attendance of farm
ers did not exceed 49, but great interest
was taken in the proceedings. AS at the
late show, the judges placed the Hornsby
machine first, NJ Cormlck second and the
Woods third; the Buckeye" representa-
tive disliked being left out in the cold, and
demanded field trial as provided by the
rules, the Mccormick also sharing in the
protest; so the prizes were held over pend
wheat, and the land was so rough that
none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods
was tolerably severe on horses, ma hines
and drivers. Two O'Clock was the hour liked
for the trial, but as the Buckeye was the
only machine then ready, a delay was
caused by the Holns.y and Mccormick
experts giving their machines pre-
liminary run IN the sd1olning block OF crop,
and start was not made until quarter
past three. The five judges gave great at
tention TO their duties, and were ably sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary Mr.. Harold
B Turnkey. About two acres were allotted
to each machine, aLd they finished in
the following order: Buckeye" hour 10
minutes; Hornsby, l hour 10 minutes;
Mccormick, hour 20 minutes. The two
latter machines were drawn by three
hors,s each, while two lighter horses
worked the buckeye" binder with equal
ease. The decision of the judges was based
on the following scale of points:

WISE MONKEYS.

How They Are Taught to Act as skfllful
Workmen, Detectives OF Bad Money and
Good Water.
In the island of Sumatra the com
mon monkey Is the bruh, or pig-tailed
monkey. and he becomes docile and
| intelligent servant What he has to
do is to gather cocoanuts. Of course
nothing is easier for four-handed fell
low than to climb tall trees and throw
down nuts, but the bruh does better
than that; he selects the nuts. gather
ing none but the ripe ones, and, what
| is more, he picks only as many as his
master wishes.
So useful is this animal that gather
ing nuts has become, one may say, his
trade in that part of the world. A man
having captured and trained gang of
them, marches them around the coun-
try to get in the harvest, hiring them
out on different plantations. Then,
when the nuts are all picked. or the
laborers too numerous, gangs of them
are taken to the English colonies at
Cape Town, and hired out like any
workmen, or coolies. as they are called.
A Siamese ape has reached step
higher, it is said. The story is told by
an Austrian who lived in Siam that
this ape is able to tell by the taste
whether coin is good or bad. and mer-
chants employ him for the purpose of
detecting counterfeits-
Within few months a gentleman
of India has tried his hand at training
monkeys, and he reports to the Asiatic
Society of Bengal his success in teach
ing them to pull punkahs. A punkah
perhaps you knows an immense
fan, hung from the ceiling and moved
back and forth by means of a rope out
side the room. 1t keeps whole room
cool, and in that climate is necessary
for white man to eat or sleep with
any comfort A monkey who can pull
one, then, is as useful as man, and is
a true worker.
Another valuable monkey is the
chacma of Africa When young this
baboon is very teachable, and is often
kept by the Kaffirs as dom este ami
NAL. He takes the place of dog.
growing when stranger comes near.
and if it becomes necessary to defend
his masters property. he is much
stronger than any dog.
The chacma easily learns to blow
the bellows of smith. and to drive
horses or oxen; but his greatest use in
that country Is to find water.
In the hot season, when the earth is
parched and springs and streams are
dry, the owner of a tame chacma takes
him out to hunt for the water they all
must have
The intelligent monkey seems to
know what is wanted, or perhaps he
knows by his own feelings what to look
for. and he goes carefully over the
ground. looking earnestly at every tuft
of grass, and eagerly shifting the
breeze on every side. Whether he
scents it or not is not known. but If
there is water in the neighborhood he
is sure to find it. It may be a deep
spring, in which case he sets to work
digging down to it; and it may be
certain very juicy root, which often
serves instead of water. He gets that
out also; and let us hope he has his
full share of it, to pay Tor his work

Is the finest that Houdon ever made.
AT the other end of the room, on each

marble bust of some celebrated au-
thor. by Houdon, Caffieri, Pajou. Boizot
or others-an admirable series. which is
continued along the adjoining gallery.

gers seated statue of George Sand.
The foyer and the gallery of busts con-
stitute for the public the museum of
the Coincide Francaise- But these
two rooms contain only q very small
part of the artistic treasures of the
house In every passage, in every
wall, there are busts, pictures, engrav-
ings, historical souvenirs, which the
public does not see. The artists
green-room, the directors cabinet in
particular, are most interesting. but,
Of course, unless you have friends at
court you can not enter these rooms.
Happily, as far, at least, as the sculpt-
ure is concerned. the greater part of
the masterpieces are placed permanent
ly within the public view, in the foyer
and the passages.
At the present day the riches of the
Coincide are so abundant that for want
of room even masterpieces have be left
in dark corners, unseen and almost for
gotten. At the Coincide Franchise, in
the actors greenroom, and in the pub
lie foyer, almost all the master portrait
lists of the eighteenth century, sculpt-
ors and painters alike, may be studied
in their best work. The sculpture is
particularly admirable. The statues
and busts of the museum of the Come
die may be compared with the antique
treasures of the museums of Italy, and
the conclusion will be that the sculp-
tors art never achieved its end with
more truth and more of the ideal than
it did by the chisel of Houdon, Caffieri,
Pajou and David dangers. For they
are really splendid and radiant with
beauty and genius, these busts to which
time has contributed the master
touches, giving life to the flesh. and
accentuating the expression according
to the sculptor's indications. Theodore
